PSN changes inbound as SNEA takes over

As of April 1, 2011, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) will no longer be handling the online services operations of the PlayStation Network.

That’s according to an email currently doing the rounds in the inboxes of PSN users, which confirms that a new division of SCEA will be taking over management duties of the online service.

As such, all account information and wallet funds will be transferred to Sony Network Entertainment America (SNEA), as per your acceptance of the new terms of service agreement. Should you decline however, your PSN account will be permanently cancelled and all remaining wallet funds will be refunded.
